I just upgraded my Limewire to 2.7.11 and encountered the same startup failure. I have tried numerous re-installs with no luck as of yet. I have even e-mailed the company and have not a response as of yet. My older version worked well, but now that I have installed the latest version, I have nothing!!!!! It is interesting that there email states to continually re-install the program if continued startup errors occur....but this does us no good!!!! I sure hope that they get to the bottom of this problem soon so that we can get back on-line!!!!

I'm having the same problem as everyone else and I hope the finally do something about it. I was just going to take limewire for a test drive to see if I really wanted to upgrade to Pro. If they don't fix it, I guess they'll never have my $$$.

Hey folks, I had the same problem... and here's how I solved it!

First, run the LimeWire Uninstaller. Then delete all remaining LimeWire related files, including two LimeWire preference files (in home-dir/library/preferences). This may not be required, but I just thought I'd start with a clean slate. Finally, download LimeWire 2.7.7 here http://allmacintosh.xs4all.nl/files/limewireosx.sit and run the installer.

Good luck!

Your a bunch of winny bitches. I'm having the same problem but hey it hasn't even been 24hrs since your post. STFU....its free software, LimeWire LLC doesn't revolve around your needs. Get Linux and download gtk-gnutella or STFU as I said before. I'm using a Mac and its not Apple's fault and its not LimeWires, **** happens, at least they will fix it unlike MS. Man this thread pissed me off. Better yet sell your Mac get XP and don't even think of using anything with GNU in it because your too stupid to know what it is.

That solution to download the Limewirw for 10.2.2 software from the All Macintosh site as a .sit is the real solution. Don`t try to download it as a .zip it just won´t do it... thanks to the guy that gave this solution

Okay, whoever posted that solution with the link is awesome. Thanks so much. Problem solved...
